Jeff Lynne - 21st Century Man lyrics

A penny in your pocket

Suitcase in your hand

They won't get you very far

Now you're a 21st century man.

Fly across the city

Rise above the land

You can do 'most anything

Now you're a 21st century man.

Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow (tomorrow)

You still wander the fields of your sorrow

What will it bring?

One day you're a hero

Next day you're a clown

There's nothing that is in between

Now you're a 21st century man.

You should be so happy

You should be so glad

So why are you so lonely

You 21st century man?

You stepped out of a dream

Believing everything was gone

Return with what you've learned

They'll kiss the ground you walk upon.

Things ain't how you thought they were

Nothing have you planned

So pick up your penny and your suitcase

You're not a 21st century man.

Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow

You still wander the fields of your sorrow (sorrow)

Tomorrow, 21st century man

21st century man

21st century man...
